    Found body minus head and skin on neck - leave flock in?

    Don't know if you have minks around, but a mink will drink the blood and leave the carcass. We've had problems with minks taking off the head and leaving the carcass behind.

    I have a question. About incubators

    Would it be an option for you go with a little giant and upgrade as you can? I've had decent results from it.
